Chapter 221: The Night of Killing
Tiannan Wuling stretches for nearly a thousand miles of undulating mountains, and there are occasional villages inhabited by Yue people in the mountains, leaning on the green mountains and green waters for a long time, and living a peaceful and comfortable life. ăx.netbsp; In the evening, smoke curls from the village, and the occasional song and dance can be heard in the village.
It was a quiet summer night, and although it was already past August, the Yue people who lived in Tiannan for a long time thought that there were three seasons of warm summer a year, and only in November would they feel a hint of autumn coolness.
Zhou Zuoche pushed aside the dense woods and stared at the calm mountain village quietly, as if the village was a monster that chose people to devour.
It was no ordinary Viet et n mountain village, hidden in the village were hundreds of well-trained South Vietnamese barbarians.
He was well aware of the terrible thing about the peaceful mountain village, just five days ago, a group of scouts came to the mountain village and never came out, and there were scouts who came and went in and out of the village carrying the iron knives and bows of the Han army, and even saw the fine military horses of the Han land.
Until yesterday morning, twenty corpses appeared dozens of miles away from the mountain village, and the armor of the Han army was gone, leaving only the bones that had been eaten by wild beasts.
There is no doubt that the scouts paid their young lives for their carelessness, and it is a pity that they are not the only victims, more than 300 Han army scouts have died in Yuerenshan Village in the past half month.
In different villages, the South Vietnamese barbarians used the same technique each time.
They entertained the Han scouts like ordinary villagers, fed their horses, entertained guests with the local products of the mountains, and attacked in the middle of the night when they were sleepy and tired, snatching weapons and supplies and slaughtering them all.
Only a few teams of scouts reacted and escaped in time, and the living Han scouts did not have time to rejoice that they had survived. When he returned to the camp, he was guilty of negligence in military discipline and caused the tragic death of the army. A hundred lashes with iron as a heavy punishment.
Cao Shi, the general of the chariot cavalry, was very angry, and every soldier was angry in his heart.
One or two scouts were wiped out, and it was understandable. It is unacceptable to have been wiped out repeatedly.
Especially before the follow-up dispatch of scouts, each scout was severely warned by the Chinese army, and it was necessary to raise the spirit of the twelve points and attack carefully, every reminder was useless, and the damned ones should continue to die, and one death was the annihilation of a team of people, leaving only a pile of corpses gnawed by jackals, tigers and leopards.
The law of Han was so strict that the living scouts would not forgive, and a hundred lashes with an iron whip dipped in salt water were enough to be fatal. It is even more unlikely that the next dead hand will survive, and no one can hold up ten lashes before being beaten to death.
Soldiers who have been killed are given high-profile funerals and are given meritorious service awards according to the standards of normal war deaths, so that the parents of the deceased cannot be allowed to humiliate their children again.
Their plight is very sympathetic, and their disregard for military orders is infuriating, and military law will never forgive even the slightest mistake, because every mistake will make more people die for you.
Zhou Zuoche held the hilt of his sword, leaning against the giant tree in silence, and he and his companion had been lurking here for a full twelve hours. More than 100 people ate and drank, and Lazar settled in the woods.
Hiding in the villages, the South Vietnamese barbarians were very vigilant, and they would quickly flee at the slightest speed, and with the athletic hands that had lived in the jungle for a long time and the familiarity of the local terrain, it was difficult for the scouts to ensure that none of them would be captured.
Zhou Zuoche knew that he only had one chance to do it. Unable to avenge his comrades if he missed this opportunity, he waited patiently in the woods, like a beast in the jungle. Wait for the moment when the prey arrives.
As night fell, the village was brightly lit.
The Yue people held a bonfire party in the village. I don't know if to celebrate this year's rice harvest or slaughter the big fat sheep of the Han army scouts.
Hundreds of pairs of eyes stared silently. Until the dead of night, the lights go out and the village is quiet.
Zhou Zuoche walked out of the mountains and forests gently, carefully bypassing the path, like a quiet leopard quickly approaching the village, and slowly stopped at the edge of the village.
Behind him, one hundred and twenty people followed silently, waiting for the moment when the order was given.
"Shh
Zhou Zuoche's eyes were like torches, and he carefully circled around the village, and soon found dozens of traps for beasts, the sharp bamboo spears in the traps were aimed at the sky, and half a life would be removed if he fell if he didn't die, and the bronze beast traps and spikes with snake venom would kill people if they got wet.
The terrain he had traveled had been explored last night, and the enclosed mountain villa was surrounded by terrible traps, it was by no means as simple as preventing wild beast attacks, this was to fully prepare for a possible sneak attack, if it weren't for Zhou Zuoche's careful thinking and timely appearance of the strange points of the people's travel route, he would never have thought that the countryside outside the village road was full of terrible traps.
In order to kill the Han army, the South Vietnamese came up with many very vicious methods, such as migrating the population, abandoning villages, poisoning wells, sneak attacks by women and children, etc., in addition to the unexpected losses of the scout army of more than 300, the Han army encountered unprecedented delay and influence of the strong, before the main force of the South Vietnamese army died, more than 200 people died, the morale of the southern army is gradually declining, and the morale of the Yelang servant army is even lower and pitiful.
After all, South Vietnam has been run by Zhao Tuo for more than 60 years, and although its military strength and economic level are very low, if it comes to the home field of the South Vietnamese, it will definitely have a huge advantage.
More than a hundred people were waiting quietly outside the village, and they would never act rashly without an order.
Originally, the Yulin Cavalry planned to continue training in Chang'an City, but the Son of Heaven temporarily changed the plan to let 15,000 Yulin Cavalry keep up with the right to be actual combat training.
The role of Yulin cavalry in the army is very special, Cao Shi did not send them to the grassroots level to lead the troops, but gave them a special mission, acting as a beast hidden in the jungle, quietly protecting the army in the dark.
The requirements are not high, similar wilderness survival training has been carried out many times, the lofty mountains and mountains of the Qinling Mountains have been stepped on, and I have seen the poisonous miasma that is not inferior to the South Ridge, I have seen the huge temperature difference between the north slope and the south slope, and I have also seen countless unheard of poisonous insects and beasts.
The Yulin Cavalry is independent of the scouts, and their mission is far more important than the scouts, and Cao Shi has high expectations for them.
The cool night breeze blew, and the bamboo forest in the distance came with a rustling sound, blowing away the heat in the hearts of the Han soldiers.
Dingdingding......
Zhou Zuoche's gaze moved slightly in an instant. Instantly turn to an unobtrusive corner, and take a closer look at what is currently shaking slightly.
Two Yulin rode over. After a while, he quietly returned: "There is a bell tied to the entrance of the village." â
Zhou Zuoche's face sank: "This group of cunning bastards accidentally caught the road." There must be a mechanism on the wall, and all of my orders will cheer me up, and everyone will die here if I am not careful. â
More than 100 people carefully cut the bell, and the gate in Luli could not enter, and they did not dare to climb over the gate lightly, and quietly moved stones over the inner wall.
The unknown thorns on the wall made Yu Lin Qi suffer, and a few people injured their hands if they were a little careless, but fortunately, the Yue people did not do the quenching treatment, and they probably wouldn't believe that someone attacked at night. It's like a prophecy that bypasses layers of protection, so the protection on the wall is not perfect.
Jumping into the lu, and in the dark alley there are a few bells in the position of the bell, set in a very inconspicuous corner is very tricky and insidious, in case the Han army bypasses thousands of mountains and rivers to break in, the bell hidden in the corner can also be used as a second warning.
Dingdingding......
The feather forest rode constantly fanning the air, and it didn't take long to pull out the hidden bells.
There is indeed a trap at the inner door, and several traps are placed at the gate, and if you climb over the inner wall, you will definitely step on the traps. If you accidentally break your leg and be disabled, you will also expose the specific location of the night attack, and there are also several traps on the wide side of the terrain around the inner wall, probably because the South Vietnamese barbarians also want to protect the inner wall. It's just that the trap is not enough.
Everyone was careful about sneaking into the mountain village, and today's operation was the first time they had come into contact with the South Vietnamese barbarians, who had never been exposed to the fighting methods of the South Vietnamese barbarians before. Everyone was very empty, worried that they would not pay attention to the Tao.
Zhou Zuoche looked around, and sure enough, there was no one guarding it. The South Vietnamese barbarians were so confident in their own protection that they didn't even arrange a vigil. It is also possible that the bonfire party is drunk and is sleeping.
His suspicions were soon confirmed.
The bold Yulin rode into a family's house, a man and a woman in the room hugged each other naked and fell asleep, they did not go to see the beautiful posture of the Yue people's women, but saw a Han army armor from the corner, as well as the Han army's standard iron knife, war bow and arrows, and there was an encrypted iron plate next to the armor, which was used to identify the identity of the enemy and me.
The cowardly South Vietnamese barbarian had his neck broken and died before he could struggle, and the Yue woman lying beside him didn't even react, still holding the body and drowning in sleep.
Shun LĂŹ killed the first person, and Yu Lin rode a sigh of relief at the same time.
Fortunately, it was not as difficult to deal with as imagined, and it was still acceptable compared to the cruel training he had received, and he quickly completed the division of labor, and more than 100 people were divided into dozens of miniature teams, and they quietly broke into the houses to execute the South Vietnamese barbarians.
It was the end of August, on the eve of the new moon, the starry sky was dim in the night, and the eyes of the marksman of the Yulin Rider could not guarantee that no one would be killed by mistake.
Although they were somewhat cruel, these Yue men were not clean hands and feet, they were accomplices in killing the Han scouts, and disposed of the corpses of the Han scouts for the South Vietnamese barbarians.
also covered for these murderous South Vietnamese barbarians, without their all-out performances, the Han army scouts would not relax their vigilance lightly, and the Vietnamese people pretended to be very devoted, and even did not hesitate to give their own women to the South Vietnamese barbarians as temporary wives.
Such people deserve to die.
In the darkness of the night, a killing scene quietly began.
In the middle of the night, the sleeping South Vietnamese barbarians suddenly woke up, pushed away the woman beside him, and walked out to relieve the pressure on the bladder.
The drunken South Vietnamese barbarians had not yet come to their senses, and suddenly laughed: "Who are you?" What does the sneaky want to do? Is it stealing other people's women? â
Poof!
Click!
Two black shadows suddenly appeared behind him, one pressed the left shoulder of the South Vietnamese barbarian, held the dagger in his right hand and stabbed it into the back of the heart, and the other held his head with both hands to cover his mouth and nose and twisted violently, and at the same time shot in no particular order of killing, which immediately made this unlucky barbarian die, and the bladder that had not been soothed when he was dying was still working, and a stench came from between his legs.
"What people!"
There was a loud shout from the silent alley in the distance, the silent village was broken, and the noise came from everywhere, with women screaming, children crying, and men screaming.
Zhou Zuoche drew his battle knife, and a heavy slash slashed the awakened barbarian strong man to the ground, raised his weapon and shouted: "All obey the order to kill all the men, and no one is allowed to escape!" â
The Yulin cavalry immediately reorganized the queue, with three people as the squad corresponding to each other, three and three arranged each other as horns, and the war knife in his hand cut the arc to split the South Vietnamese barbarians who rushed over.
In an instant, the flesh and blood of the South Vietnamese flew sideways, and Yu Lin rode all the burly men with big shoulders and round waists, picking up the war knife and slashing at the unprotected torso of the body, which would have a very violent effect, slashing the stumps and broken arms all the way and spilling blood all over the ground.
There are more than a dozen squads guarding the favorable terrain, holding war bows and unhurriedly carrying out long-range fire suppression.
The archery skills of the South Vietnamese barbarians were obviously not as powerful as those of their strong neighbors in the north, and they were overwhelmed by the fact that they could not raise their heads after a short period of effort.
The South Vietnamese barbarians were retreating, and their frontal could not withstand the attacks of dozens of groups of three, this strange foot combat technique was unheard of, and the South Vietnamese barbarians who rushed over were almost as many as they came.
And the losses on the side of the Yulin Rider are still zero.
The disparity in the duel, resulting in a one-sided crushing, the combat effectiveness of the Han army at this moment is vividly reflected, the South Vietnamese are short and thin, but the Han army's Yulin cavalry is very terrifying like a humanoid King Kong, and the height is almost more than half a head of the South Vietnamese.
In front of the Han army, the South Vietnamese barbarians were inferior in strength, reaction, body, explosiveness, swordsmanship, and tactics, and the all-round backwardness only brought crushing.
The South Vietnamese barbarians fought and retreated, constantly shrinking to the corners of Luli.
Those Vietnamese men, who had no combat effectiveness and were very active, became cannon fodder for the South Vietnamese army.
was slashed by the Han army one by one, like a baby without the power to fight back.
Zhou Zuoche rushed to the front line, put down more than a dozen South Vietnamese barbarians in a row, and suddenly stopped: "It's not good, the South Vietnamese want to escape!" They retreated to the stables, and they couldn't let them grab the horses! â
He was heartbroken, and simply rushed away from the Yue people who were obstructing the way when he rode up with dozens of feather forests, and stumbled to the ground with his strong body.
Zhou Zuo's driver rushed up with a long knife: "The archers follow up and cover for us!" Others block the exit of Luli and don't let anyone escape! (To be continued!)
